Back to the future Bo Jackson swag…

The Nike Air Trainer Huarache was a dope shoe when it first dropped almost twenty years ago. They still go hard when the upper has nubucks and suedes all over it.

Irene turned out to be more hype than hurricane, but the media will make a mountain from a moehill when it needs to move some paper.

My post-storm outfit is still reflecting my preparedness by, well, reflecting.

3M, Gore-tex and Timberland boots are pretty much an undefeated combination of materials.

Stay dry internets, and walk good.

I love bluecheese but that has nothing to do with the UMC’s

NikeID.com is letting you customize the Air Jordan 2011 so I mocked up a pair of DP.com ‘Blu Cheez’.

Patina black leather and a translucent outsole are both slick features.

The cheese part comes from the pricepoint – $205

More Comeup Lifestyle…

My brother Dirty Jerz thinks he can compete with the king of the comeup game. The truth is that he can’t. No one can. I have given my whole credit history to the game.

On my way to submit some returns to Macy*s for store credit I came upon some redonkulously priced cable knit sweaters. The V-neck varsity joint will help me look spiffy in my jeans and green bottom Rod Lavers.

From $245 to $19.99 and you still don’t think I’m the comeup king?

The cable knit cardigan is so sick with it and look at what the original MSRP was? Dayyyyyyyum! This is a killer comeup at 94% off.

Jerz and I both agree that you can’t be considered a comeup unless the markdown is at least 60% off of that retailer’s original ticket price. Since Macy*s starts with the Polo Ralph Lauren ticket these prices are banana bread. As a matter of fact, even for Marshall’s these would be great prices.

retro 6

I am batshit crazy for the Air Jordan Retro 6 in the colorway called the ‘Detroit Pistons’.

The 6 was the shoe he wore to his first ever championship. The Detroit Pistons were Jordan’s greatest nemesis back then even more than my Knicks. When Jordan and the Bulls finally broke thru Detroit’s hold on the Eastern Conference it was a new era in basketball.

The Piston’s 6 has suede and patined leather on the upper with royal blue and varsity red accents thruout.

I couldn’t figure out why I was so attracted to this show until my boy Kenny sent me this pic. Now it all makes sense.
